The steamers operated between piers at Kenmore, Fearnan, Ardtalnaig, Ardeonaig, Lawers and Killin.

He was trained to ring the pier bell to alert intending passengers to the imminent arrival of the steamer.

The engines by David Rowan of Glasgow generated 150 horse-power, supplied by a steel boiler, and delivered a speed expected of 14 m.p.h.

She was built by James Fenton of Perth and fitted with engines similar to those of Lady of the Lake.

She was named after Sybilla of Normandy, queen of Alexander I of Scotland, who is buried among the ruins of the Priory on the Isle of Loch Tay.

She was shipped in parts to Killin and drawn on a barge to Dalreb near Kenmore before reassembly and launching on 19 June 1907 by the Marchioness of Breadalbane.

Some adjustments were required and she completed her trials on 13 August, running the length of the loch at a rate of 12 knots.

She had “accommodation for over 500 passengers with a fine deck room, and commodious handsomely furnished saloons.” Tragedy almost struck when Queen of the Lake was discovered to be on fire at the beginning of July in 1929.

Queen of the Lake soldiered on with two double runs each day and evening cruises in the height of the season.

She was removed from the water in 1939 at Kenmore and broken up in 1950 where she lay by the firm of J & A White of North Queensferry.
